Learning to Live Without Him

Grief didn't break Winona. The $450,000 secret her dead husband left behind did.

A powerful work of contemporary women's fiction and midlife reinvention, Learning to Live Without Him is a raw, emotional journey through the wreckage of a "perfect" marriage and the resilience found in female solidarity.

Winona was the methodical wife of a hero-until his death revealed a legacy of lies. Now, she is fifty, alone, and staring down a mountain of debt that's about to swallow her whole.

The bank accounts are drained.

The second mortgage is due.

The man she loved was a stranger with a signature that ruined her.

With no children to lean on and homelessness knocking at her door, Winona must find a hidden steel she never knew she possessed. Alongside a circle of four women who have survived their own personal hells, she is forced to trade her comfort for a desperate fight for survival in a rainy Pacific Northwest autumn.

The stakes are absolute: Winona must reclaim her worth from the ashes of betrayal, or lose everything she has left. There is no safety net-only the strength of the sisters she chooses.

A heart-wrenching and triumphant story filled with courage, second chances, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship. If you've ever had to start over when you thought it was too late, this book is for you.
